Serbia skipper Branislav Ivanovic reveals the Republic of Ireland duo he’s most concerned about

What? But the Euros are only just over.

Yes, the World Cup qualifiers are already upon us. The last week has been dominated by talk of Robbie Keane's international retirement but, as nice as it was for the Irish legend to bow out with a goal against Oman, it's time for serious business for the Republic of Ireland. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/771383365710807040 They get their qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup underway on Monday night with a tricky away tie against Serbia, one of the sides that will be in the running to progress in spite of the fact that they've failed to qualify for the last three major tournaments. But Ireland too are expected to be in the discussion after making it to the last 16 of Euro 2016, beating Italy in the group stages and opening the scoring against tournament favourites France in the knockout phase. Serbia captain Branislav Ivanovic is well aware of the threats that Ireland pose and he has identified two in particular that he is familiar with from the Premier League.
